The Willshire Herald says: “Not long ago a man came into this office and stopped his paper because he said it was always printing a lot of tilings about the people and he said he was sick of it. Now when something goes wrong with the country the governnfent appoints a commission to investigate and find cut what is the matter, and the first tiling the commission investigates is the man who made the holler to see if tlie holler was a reasonable holler. So we appointed a commission consisting of ourselves to investigate this man. We jtist followed the man's career ever since vve knew him. The first tiling that happened to that man was that lie was hern, but he had nothing to do with it. However, we mentioned him, although his parents were entitled to the credit. When he was in his early twenties he got married. We mentioned that, including the name of the bride, the preacher, etc., in fact we mentioned everything but tiie preacher’s fee, which was not worth mentioning. We never mentioned the fact that lie never won any premiums at the county fair, because lie never exhibited anything. We never mentioned his name in the list cf committees, because lie never attended anything. We never mentioned his name in the list of donors, because lie never donated anything as much as a doughnut. We certainly have been treating this man shamefully, but we will agree tp run a nice obituary when the time comes.”,

Rheumatism Sprains Lumbago Sciatica Why grin and bear all these ills when Sloan’s Liniment kills pain ? t“ I have used your Liniment and can any it is fine. I have used it for sore throat, strained shoulder, and it acted like u charm.”— Allen Dunn, Route t, Box 88, Pine Valley, Miss. “ I am a painter and paperhanger by trade, consequently up and down ladders. About two years ago my left knee became lame and sore. It pained me at nights at times till I could uot rest, and I was contemplating giving up my trade on account of it when 1 chanced to think of Sloan’s Liniment. I had never tried it before, and I am glad to state that less than one 25c. bottle fixed me up apparently as good as ever.” — Charles C. Campbell, Florence, Texas.

He bought a new buggy and two good horses. Although he had only a few patients he always kept on the jump, attending to his patients’ smallest needs. People began to notice this young doctor driving about town and they called him because he looked busy and prosperous. He got his start — a start that led to a comfortable practice. Our town, like this doctor, must look prosperous to be prosperous. Clean streets, attractive store windows, Weil-f/aihted buildings and dwellings give the prosperous air. Well-painted buildings are greatest of these. Eckstein White Lead (Dutch Boy Painter Trade Mark) and pure linseed oil make a most durable and protective paint that keeps buildings well painted. These materials can be mixed to suit conditions and tinted any color desired. We sell these good-paint ingredients as well as other paint necessaries. Better get in touch with us in the interests of prosperity. THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO. HOMESEEKER EXCURSION FARES TO SOUTHWEST VIA CLOVER LEAF ROUTE First and Third Tuesdays of each month. See H. J.
